    Hello,
    I ran a quick search, but I couldn't really find what I was looking for. I have an external monitor hooked up to my laptop, running Vista, and everything is working fine, almost. What I was wondering is if it were possible to have a task bar on each display, instead of just the one. Also, is there a way to have a program launch on my external monitor if I open a shortcut on the external display? For example, say I have a firefox shortcut on the extra monitor. When I click to open it, firefox will open on my primary display.
    Thank you for your help!
